So does that calculated data have any accuracy or is it useless?

 

I wouldn't say it's useless, it's not super accurate though.

 

Is the update for the bouncing idle on the JCW out yet?

 

We are working on some updates on all of the ALTA maps. They will be ready really soon, when they are available, I will let everyone know.

 

How about the people that cant get updates from the manager? For example, i received my tunes via email because the AP didnt update/get tunes from the manager.

 

So where are the turbo back exhausts on your web sites?
I also skimmed the whole thread and did the P&B ever happen?

 

I'm outta da loop - what is "B&P"?

I saw 19.9 lbs. boost this morning, the car held it for several seconds. Those were *memorable* seconds... This car is making just the right amount of power for my suspension setup. I think the car would handle quite bit better if I lowered it anor so. I'd have to do my math up-front since I put on non-standard size tires. The new tires are .47 inches taller. So, a 1 inch drop would effctively be a 1.5 inch drop with the taller tires. Or do I cut the .47 inch figure in half and go with that?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Two questions for Chris at Alta,

1. I wsa hit on the highway last week and totaled my R56 in a 2X rollover crash. If I can not conncet to my ECU with my AP, can it be reset to communicate with the new car.

2. I am going to replae it with an '11 JCW [if U can find one] or wait for he '12 JCW. Is the AP accessible for either of these?

Thanks,

John

 

Off topic but can we see pics???

 

That sux man.hope ur ok. I was also wondering if this could happen.

 

Hope you're OK!

Not sure re: question #1, but re: #2 - I have an '11 JCW and it works with it. And it should work with the '12 JCW as it has been pretty much confirmed that the '12 JCW will have the same engine per some other threads on the boards.

 

I am seeing conflicting comments about the availability of AP maps for the 2011 MCS. Are JCW Minis the only 2011 supported, or are all 2011 maps now available?

 

What was the problem with the AP Manager, I may have helped you in the past, but I don't remember the problems that you were having. If the problems are still happening, we can email the maps if we know the exact map that you are running.


The turbo back exhaust has been discontinued, sorry! We are working on the P&B maps still.

Glad to hear you're OK from something like that!
The AccessPORT will need to be reset to work on a new car. We can do this for a small fee with proof that the car was totaled.

The AccessPORT is compatible with the 2011 JCW, not yet with the 2012, we will have to wait until it comes out to see if it's any different.

The AccessPORT does not yet work on the 2011 MCS. The AccessPORT does work on the 2011 factory JCW though.

 

Thanks for the response.

As for getting our copy of the AccessTUNER Race softeware we just need to contact Alta with the AP serial #, yes?

 

There actually isn't Racetuner software available yet, the only way to tune the Mini using the AccessPORT is to purchase a license from COBB.

 

I know Im goin to get yelled at but......
Im seeing alot of jcw help and remapping Q/A's. Whats the deal with '11 MCS, any news on an Accessport for us?

 

Thanks for the information regarding the AP reset. I was able to access the ECU and unistall it from the car. I did hear from thebody shop and they estimated the high side of 17K plus the engine has hydro-locked so Nigel is was murdered. I will be going for 2012 JCW as I havenot found a 2011 JCW that I like.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I will post pictures soon.

'The turbo back exhaust has been discontinued, sorry!"

So is the stage two and three no longer obtainable? I thought the 3" was required?

 

Is this the same as buying a copy of the AccessTuner Pro software?

 

Customers will be able to go stage 2 or stage 3 with a catless 2.5" turbo back exhaust. Only if it's catless though. If it has a cat, you will have to keep on using the stage 1 map.

No news yet for the 2011 MCS, when we have anything, we will make sure to update the thread and our web page as soon as we have news.

Yes.

 

So two scenarios that seem to be popular amongst current R56 owners:

Stock DP (with cat) with a 2.5" catback exhaust with no resonator or cat.

Same as above, but with an aftermarket DP using a high flow cat, such as the Akrapovic.

What stage would you recommend for each of those setups?

 

Any setup using the stock cats require a stage 1 tune.

Any exhaust that has a cat but is less than 3" requires a stage 1 tune.

Any exhaust that is 3" either it being catless or high flow cat can use a stage 2 tune.

Any turbo back that is a 2.5" that is catless can use a stage 2 tune. But it has to replace the whole exhaust. If there's any OEM downpipe or catback exhaust parts being used, a stage 1 is required.

 

I have the good map(Stage 1 tps w/ intercooler 92+ octane), that Jeff emailed me, but for the future updates im screwed as the AP won't update itself with maps. When i first received the AP, by following the directions, i only got stage 0, stage 1 91 octane, and stage 3 maps(just 3 of those maps). The manager shows me the update process and that its been completed but no new maps. I went through different steops that you guys gave me but no luck with that either.

 

Mamut,

I'll send you a PM.
